Description:

The key missing ingredient in responsive web design has been a native way for browsers to deliver images tailored to a user's device. Consequently, sites often have delivered large images to all browsers, making pages load slowly (on mobile devices especially) and eating into mobile user's data plan quotas. It has limited artistic control of our sites across devices as well.

Years in the making, a solution is upon us now in the form of HTML's new srcset and sizes attributes and picture element. During this webcast, you'll learn:

When and how to use each of these new features

The status of their browser support

Options for browsers that don't support them
